JQGrid, Need to change progress message “Loading…”

Question

I want to change JQGrid \"Loading...\" message to something with animated gif image. Looked everywhere but couldn\'t find a way. Anyone please.

Answer 1

This is perhaps a more modern answer to the question using FontAwesome rather than a gif. I couldn't find where this has been answered anywhere and had to piece it together from various places including the answer above by @oleg.

Hopefully this will be helpful to others searching.

And then place the following (exactly like this) after $(document).ready(function() {

$.jgrid.defaults.loadtext='';
